Ben Olsen characterized his team as "fragile" following three straight losses in the Leagues Cup, marking them as the only MLS side without points in the tournament. Despite being 11th in the Western Conference, they remain close to playoff contention. Olsen expressed disappointment in their performance, particularly their lack of execution in crucial moments. He acknowledged the team's need to adapt and prepare for upcoming matches, focusing on utilizing the last ten games of the season to secure a playoff spot. Learning from the recent defeats remains essential as they progress.
Olsen said, "We let ourselves down with the goals. Again, poor, kind of naive in the moments. We weren't killers in front of goal."
Olsen reflected, "The message [to the team] is we put this tournament to bed. We learned a little bit about ourselves, and we saw some things we wanted to see."
